Erica Robin, a Pakistani beauty queen, is causing a stir at the Miss Universe 2023 competition. Her charming demeanor and eye-catching national costume, which honors the rich tapestry of Pakistan’s history and culture, are winning over spectators.
As part of a partnership between the Miss Universe Organization and famous designer Rubin Singer, Erica wore an exquisite kaftan in an official swimsuit shot. The message that accompanied the photos revealed that fans could purchase this unique swimwear line and get a piece of the same glamor that was displayed on the Miss Universe stage.
Erica selected an outfit designed by Khaadi, appropriately called “Pehchaan,” which translates to “Identity” in English, for the national costume competition. The caption explained the costume’s significance and emphasized Erica’s goal of using her attire to honor Pakistan’s rich cultural diversity, history, and way of life. On her national costume, the concerned star wore the slogan, “unity in diversity by celebrating its own identity.”
“Erica aims to celebrate the rich and diverse culture, history, and lifestyle of Pakistan through her outfit,” the caption that accompanied the exquisite masterpiece noted. Numerous ethnic groups are represented in Pakistan according to geography, religion, language, and culture. Baloch, Brahui, Sindhi, Punjabi, Muhajir, Saraiki, Memon, Kalashi, Balti, Wakhi, Afghani, Kashmiri, and Hindkowan are a few of the current ethnic groups. This outfit is a colorful celebration of Pakistan’s many traditions, skillfully fusing the country’s unique beauty with the deep love and harmony that its people hold dear.”
It went on to say, “The elaborate patchwork honors Pakistan’s rich crafts and legacy by fusing rural and urban aspects. The intricately designed fan, a staple of Pakistani tribal culture, is a representation of strength, grace, and a nod to the country’s historical heritage. In the meantime, the massive silhouette offers a striking visual representation of Pakistan’s incredible development and progress over time. It captures the history of the country, from its traditional foundations to its modernization efforts following independence.”

Erica had previously said outright, “Pakistan will enter a contestant in Miss Universe for the first time ever. I have a lot of responsibilities and am under a lot of strain. I will not, however, take any action that might damage the nation’s reputation.” The actress has stuck to her word, displaying her sense of flair while yet being mindful of her nation’s sensibilities.
